This acclaimed work is of interest to anyone who thinks seriously about
art, as well as to philosophers, aestheticians, and art historians.
Danto explores the inextricably linked but often misunderstood
relationship between art and philosophy. In light of the book's impact
-- especially the essay "The End of Art," which dramatically announced
that art ended in the 1960s -- this enhanced edition includes a foreword
by Jonathan Gilmore that discusses how scholarship has changed in
response to it.
